AuroVault
NEW Spaces 2.0 — shared vaults for small teams

Keep your files sealed in light.

AuroVault locks every file on your own device before upload, so what we store is unreadable to everyone — including us. Quiet, quick and entirely yours.

// the product

Privacy you don't have to think about.

AuroVault handles the hard parts of encryption quietly in the background, so your workflow looks exactly like ordinary cloud storage.

Sealed on your device

Files are encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 by the app before a single byte is sent. Keys are derived from your passphrase with Argon2id and never reach our servers, so a breach on our side exposes only ciphertext.

Resumable transfers

Large uploads are cut into verified pieces and continue where they stopped after a dropped connection.

38 ms

Seven home regions

Pick where a space lives — Frankfurt, Dublin, Virginia, Oregon, São Paulo, Mumbai or Singapore — and it stays there.

Time-travel history

Roll any file back up to 60 days. Deleted items rest in a recovery shelf before they are shredded.

Links that expire

Share with a passphrase, a download cap and an end date. Revoke with one click, any time.

Spaces for teams

Group files into spaces with viewer, commenter and editor roles. A plain-language activity feed shows who opened, changed or shared what.

Leave whenever you like

Export everything in standard formats from the console or the command line. No lock-in, no fees to take your data home.

// setup

From sign-up to synced in an afternoon coffee.

No sales calls and no migration project. Three steps and you're done.

01

Open a vault

Create an account and choose a passphrase. We generate your recovery kit so you can always get back in — print it or store it offline.

02

Connect a device

Install the desktop app or sign in on the web. Power users can script everything with the command line tool.

$ aurovault sync ~/Projects --space studio-north
03

Invite people, keep control

Add teammates to a space, send a protected link to a client, or keep it all to yourself. Permissions are always one tap from revocation.

Good questions, plain answers.

Before upload, the app encrypts each file with a unique key. That key is itself wrapped with a master key derived from your passphrase, which stays on your devices. Our servers only ever hold scrambled data and wrapped keys, so we cannot open your files — and neither can anyone who might compromise our infrastructure.
Because we never hold your keys, we can't reset it for you. That's why sign-up produces a recovery kit — a short code you store offline. With the kit you can restore access; without it or the passphrase, the data is unrecoverable by design.
Yes. Download from your current provider and point the desktop app or command line at the folder; folder structure is preserved. Studio customers can also book a free 30-minute call with an engineer to plan a larger move.
Each space has a home region that you choose when you create it: Frankfurt, Dublin, Virginia, Oregon, São Paulo, Mumbai or Singapore. Data doesn't leave that region unless you opt in to a replica elsewhere.
Mark any folder "keep on this device" and it remains available without a connection. Edits are queued and sealed locally, then merged when you're back online. If two devices change the same file, both versions are kept so nothing is overwritten.
Open Billing in your account and choose Downgrade. Paid features run until the end of the period, then the account becomes Starter. If you're over 10 GB, files stay readable and exportable for 30 days, but new uploads pause until you free space or upgrade.
Passphrase plus an authenticator app (TOTP) or a hardware security key (WebAuthn / FIDO2). Studio workspaces can require hardware keys for every member.
We target 99.95% monthly availability for paid plans. If we fall short, you can request a credit of up to 25% of that month's fee. Live health data is always on the status page.
